Five Events.

The beautiful, balmy and spring like
weather yesterday induced 5000 peo-
pie to visit the Jockey Club Race
course. Early in the day the band
discouTsed sweet music along the prin-
cipal streets, and the only topic dis
cussed everywhere was the races. BY
half past II o'clock crowds wendell
their way by street car snd on foot to
the Charleston railroad depot, so as to
20 out on the o'clock train. At least
1000 passengers were taken out, and
each succeeding train, up to 8 o'clock,
was packed with human beings. The
best judges of crowds began esti-
mating the number OF visitors
present. The lowest estimate was
1000 and the highest 6000
1t was by far the largest attendance
ever seen on Memphis race course.
The weather was delightful. A steady
and strong warm breezs blew all day
long from the east, causing the fields
OF white clover to rise and TALL like the
waves OF the sea. The undula,ory
motion was quite picturesque, and the
clover blossoms sent forth delicious
perfume to charm the senses. Flags
and banners were flying everywhere,
from the jaCkstati of the stables, the
stseplechase course, the grand stand
and from the clubhouse. The beau.
iiIul grounds around the headquarters
OF the Jockey Club presented a pas.
toral appearance. The deer in the
paddock, the shade trees, shrubbery,
plants and flowers added to the land
tcape. The number Of ladies present
was unparalleled in the history Of the
course, at least 1000 being in attend
ance at the grand stand and on the
clubhouse verandas. Montgomery's
four in hand "tally-ho" drag drove
up at 2 o'clock, and from it's top
many ladies and gentlemen descend
ed. The band discoursed sweet mu-
sic, and everybody seemed bent upon
enjoyment and was eager for the sport
to begin. The betting was very lively
at the track, the nineteen book max.
ers being kept busy taking in the
dollars, while they broke out occa.
sionaliy in voices BASES, bari.
tones, tenors, etc., singing the seduc-
tive odds offered against each horse.
The favorites were often purchased,
but the odds offered on the short
horses could not be resisted by scores
of people, and who, Of course, went
broke" after the races, victims to the
unstable doctrine Of luck.
The judges were Col. John Overton,
it,, Capt, Sam Carnes and Col. Chss.
III. Green, OF ST. Louis. The timers
were Messrs. B. w. Woodruff and
Walter GratE, and the starter, Capt.
W. H. Oheatham, Of Nashville. 1t
was after o'clock when the lap OF the
bell announced the coming OF the
opening race.

Rifth Race.

A steeplechase closed the days
sport, but not without quite serious
accidsnt-the stumbling OF Tennessee
while jumping hurdle aud falling on
the jockey, Storms, who was rendered
insensible Tor some time. The entries
were Tennessee ridden by Storms,
Asc)li ridden by Downing, Aurelian
ridden by Huston and Gilt Edge rid.
den by Weaver. The horses got off
easily, Aurelian leading over the hur-
dies to the twelfth, when Tennessee,
who had secured second place, tripps 4
and fell. Ascoli took the lead from
Aurelian and came down the track a
winner by length; Aurelian 80 cond,
with Gilt Edge third and some twenty
yards behind. Time-8:55. 1t was
Tennessee's race had II not been for
the unfortunate accident.

The next race was the celebrated
Chickasaw Guards sweepstakes for
four years old, distance one mile and
q quarter. Great interest was felt In
this contest, because Blue Wing and
Montana Regent were pitted against
each other, Brown and Morrissey's en-
tries, respectively. Blue Wing was
the fsvorite. A very good start was
secured after some trouble, Montana
Regent leading, LATTE second, Blus
Wing third, Brown Duke fourth and
Elkwood fifth. At the one.eighth post
LATTE took the lead, Brown Duke
second, Montana Regent third,
Blue Wing fourth and Elkwood fifth.
Reaching the quarter mile post Lah tie
was still in front, Montana Req nt
second, Bonnie Duhe third, Blue
Wing fourth, and Elkwood fifth. The
half mile post ehowed no changes
Montana Regent was in the second 20
sition and was evidently setting the
pace, while Blue Wing was quietly
holding a good position 80 as to be
ready for the finish. The three quar-
ter post changed matters
somewhat; Lsfte fell back
and Montana Regent took the front
ylsce. Blue Wing moved up to
third position. Elkwood was a good
fourth, and Brown Duke brought up
the rear. The struggle now com
menced, and Blue Wing, urged by
Garrison, passed LATTE and made {
rush for Montana Regent, catching
him at the turn aud going to the from
a little. On they came dowr
